Happy birthday Jaideep Ahlawat! Six times Jaideep Ahlawat aced his acting to perfection

Jaideep Ahlawat is one of the ace actors among the current crop of actors in Indian cinema. Native of Haryana, Mr. Ahlawat has given some of the most incredible performances and has created a niche for himself.

Regarded among the best in the country, Mr. Ahlawat is celebrating his 45^th birthday on February 8 (Wednesday). On this momentous occasion, we look at his five most popular performances in Bollywood. Here is the list.

Commando (2013):

The birthday boy gave one of the heart wrenching and chilling performances in Commando as Amrit Kanwal. Those menacing eyes and ruthless attitude in the film gave goosebumps to many. While Tiger Shroff brough the mastery of action, Ahlawat ruled the big screen with his strong screen presence and grit in his eyes.

Khatta Meetha (2010):

In this comical cum thriller, Mr. Ahlawat plays the role of a corrupt local politician who would go to any extent to get what he wants.

While Khatta Meetha was Ahalwat’s second Bollywood movie, he established his character very well, despite sharing screen with mega-star Akshay Kumar and several other veterans. Mr. Ahlawat’s villainous character was widely hated by the audience while his acting received a lot of recognition.

Chittagong (2012):

Jaideep Ahlawat marked his arrival with this Bedabrata Pain’s 2012 historical war drama, based on the 1930 Chittagong armory raid. Alongside Manoj Baypayee, Barry John, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Rao, Jaideep Ahlawat perfectly aced the character of a revolutionary Anant Singh. Mr. Ahlawat’s act left the audience in awe.

Raazi (2018):

Meghna Gulzar’s Raazi is one of the finest spy thrillers in Hindi cinema. The movie didn’t just stand out because of its script, but stellar casting of characters made this movie stand out.

Apart from Vicky Kaushal and Alia Bhatt, Jaideep Ahlawar too nailed his acting while essaying the role of Khalid Mir, who trained Sehmat (Alia Bhatt) before sending her off to Pakistan.

He brought a lot of grit and seriousness to the character, and his close-to-perfect roles added much-needed depth to the film.

Gangs of Wasseypur (2012):

The Anurag Kashyap-directed masterpiece will go down in the history books as one of the most critically acclaimed movies in Indian cinema. Ahlawat played an important role of Shahid Khan – the character which in real life gave a glimpse of what’s in store in the two-part crime drama.

Ahlawat literally nailed his acting and instantly rose to fame.

Patallok (2020):

If Wasseypur provided Mr. Ahlawat, a perfect blend of unconventional and commercial cinema, Patallok marked Ahalawat’s arrival on OTT platform. The character of Hathiram has remained etched in the memories of every OTT buff. Jaideep played a cop in the film, who is struggling with his personal and professional life but ends up solving a high-profile case.
